Android Revolution HD 5.0 for Samsung Galaxy Note 2

So what’s so good about this Custom ROM? The Android Revolution HD 5.0 custom ROM is a very fast and stable ROM that is based on the latest Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean N7100XXDLJ2 firmware. It’s basically an improved version of the stock ROM with no visual changes at all. It’s very fast, clean, and it’s 100% stable.
